Low Foam Heavy Duty Floor Cleaner 5L
Evans Low Foam Heavy is a concentrated alkaline cleaner for demanding floor-care tasks. The low-foaming formulation is designed for combination scrubber dryer machines and is also suitable for general mopping of badly soiled compatible surfaces. This listing supplies a 5-litre container for professional cleaning teams.
Factory and warehouse floors are key applications, with vinyl, rubber, asphalt, concrete and unpolished surfaces included in the manufacturer's guidance. Check the actual floor material, coating and maintenance instructions before use. Heavy-duty alkaline cleaning is a different task from routine care of a delicate or polished finish, so choose the product and method to match the floor.
The unperfumed blue liquid suits appropriate cleaning in food preparation areas where added fragrance is unwanted. Evans describes its machine-cleaning performance as removing heavy soil in one pass under suitable conditions; actual results depend on the soil, dose, floor and machine setup. The working concentration is 1–2% for combination machines, with a separate 1:50 hot-water dilution for manual cleaning.
Use Low Foam Heavy within your commercial floor cleaning routine and select compatible equipment for the job. When maintaining a polished surface that needs a milder daily cleaner, consider High Class neutral hard surface cleaner where its label and the floor specification permit. Keep each chemical correctly labelled and follow the relevant safety information when preparing solutions.

Directions for Use
1. Prepare the floor and handle the concentrate safely
Read the product label, safety data sheet and equipment instructions. Remove loose debris, check the floor material and finish, and restrict access to the wet work area. The undiluted cleaner causes skin irritation and serious eye damage: wear protective gloves, appropriate protective clothing and eye or face protection when handling it. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
2. Dose a combination scrubber dryer
Add Low Foam Heavy to the solution tank at 1–2%, equivalent to 10–20ml per litre, depending on the level of soiling. For a 10-litre working quantity, that dosing rate corresponds to 100–200ml of product. Follow the machine's filling, pad or brush selection and operating instructions, and recover the dirty solution with the machine's recovery system. Do not exceed the specified dose to compensate for an unsuitable setup.
3. Prepare a manual cleaning solution
For general cleaning, dilute 100ml of product per 5 litres of hot water in a suitable bucket, the manufacturer's 1:50 dilution. Mop or wipe the compatible surface. Use clean equipment and renew heavily soiled solution as needed. Follow the floor's care instructions for removing residual cleaning solution and any required final rinse; do not allow residue to create a slippery surface.
4. Finish the job and store the product
Remove dirty solution and leave the floor safe and dry before reopening the area. Empty and clean equipment according to its instructions. Close the original product container tightly and store it in a cool, well-ventilated place away from oxidising materials. Keep cleaning chemicals out of children's reach and dispose of contents and packaging in line with the safety data sheet and local requirements.

FAQs
How much should I add to a scrubber dryer?
Use the manufacturer's 1–2% concentration, or 10–20ml per litre, selected according to the soiling. A 10-litre working quantity therefore uses the equivalent of 100–200ml at that dosing rate. Follow the machine's tank-filling and operating instructions as well as the product label.
Can Low Foam Heavy be used without a machine?
Yes. Evans also recommends it for general mopping of badly soiled compatible surfaces. For that method, add 100ml per 5 litres of hot water in a bucket and mop or wipe the surface. Check the flooring instructions and remove dirty solution properly before the floor is reopened.
Which floor materials are listed as suitable?
The product information lists vinyl, rubber, asphalt, concrete and unpolished surfaces. This does not make every coating or finish automatically suitable. Check the flooring manufacturer's guidance, particularly for polished, sealed or delicate finishes, and test an inconspicuous area if compatibility is uncertain.
Why use a low-foam cleaner in a combination machine?
A combination scrubber dryer applies cleaning solution, scrubs the floor and recovers dirty water. A cleaner formulated for this method helps avoid excessive foam during that process. Use the specified concentration and maintain the machine's tanks, recovery system and cleaning tools rather than relying on extra chemical.
Is it suitable for food preparation areas or disinfection?
The unperfumed formulation is suitable for appropriate cleaning in food preparation areas when used as directed. Low Foam Heavy is a cleaner, with no disinfectant performance or EN disinfection claim stated here. Where the hygiene procedure requires disinfection, use a suitable separate disinfectant according to its instructions after cleaning.
What protection is needed when handling the concentrate?
The product is classified as causing skin irritation and serious eye damage. Wear protective gloves, appropriate protective clothing and eye or face protection, and avoid splashes. Keep the current safety data sheet available, store the container securely and follow the label's first-aid instructions if exposure occurs.
